Blue Gypsy : Antique Turquoise Gypsy Ring in 9ct Pale Rose Gold

Sold

It’s classic and eclectic all at once.
A deliciously heavy and buttery smooth pale rose gold band with a delightful turquoise cabochon seamlessly set into its convex surface. This is a ring you’ll find comfortable and comforting to wear everyday, and would be suitable as a right hand ring for a man or a woman.

Manufacture:
Simply hallmarked with the antique 9ct mark to the inside of the band, this ring doesn’t give away many secrets as to its age. Rings of this style have been popular throughout the ages, I believe this one dates to 1890 – 1910 but may be a little earlier.

One  round ‘sleeping beauty’ turquoise cabochon of 3.9mm hammer or gypsy set into the hefty 9ct rose gold ring. The ring is of extremely solid construction. It has not been polished leaving its original aged patina, but can be buffed to a mirror finish upon request. The colour of the rose gold is very pale. At first I thought it to be a yellow gold ring, but when put next to other yellow gold rings (as in the last photo) you can see its subtle rose hue. I believe some antiques dealers call this colour “old gold”.

The ring measures 7.1mm wide at the face, tapering to 3.2mm at the back of the band. The ring sits 2.9mm high on the finger. It is convex all the way around and extremely comfortable to wear.
Weighs 3.9 grams

Condition:
In excellent antique condition. You can see some flea bites to the turquoise cabochon, which is to be expected in an antique ring, most importantly the turquoise retains its deeply delicious robin’s egg blue hue. There are no signs of repair or resize.
